Sunday’s football programme features West Ham vs Wolves in the 17th round of the Premier League.

Where to watch West Ham vs Wolves?

Sunday’s match of the 17th round of the Premier League will offer a confrontation between two teams from the middle of the table, with the home side especially needing to score to apologise to the fans for last week. The battle will be hosted at the London Stadium. The match will be played on December 17 at 15:00. The visitors, on the other hand, would like to stay quietly in the middle of the table.

West Ham with a big question mark

On the one hand, fatigue is quite logical on West Ham, but at the same time it would be wrong to underestimate their home strength. A lot depends on how much strength the players have left after Thursday’s Europa League. The Hammers were at their strongest in that competition.

Wolves can hold their own without their star

The fear of a downturn in performance after Pedro Neto’s injury is gone, Wolverhampton continue to play breakout football and pick up points without him. Hwang Hee Chan has surprisingly caught on at the top of the attack and Pablo Sarabia and Matheus Cunha have also improved.

West Ham vs Wolves odds

Betting tip – Maximum one goal in the first half

Given the tough game against Freiburg, I expect a slower start to the game for the Hammers. Both teams attack poorly into solid defences, so waiting for a goal mistake is on offer. That’s why I predict a maximum of one goal in the opening half. Wolves on the other hand will be hungry, much more rested and for that reason I expect them not to lose. Given the evenness of both teams, for the riskier punters, I also offer a straight draw.
